Well, it doesn't look a bit like Spring here... It's very dull and overcast, nevertheless I have a Spring card to share with you this morning - I was so taken by the Die Stenciling creations done by the talented Yana Smakula up on the SimonSays Blog this week that I got out my inks and made a few cards

I actually used my Cameo to cut these shapes together with some masking paper but I did also try using just plain CS and temporary spray adhesive and it worked just as well

I used both distress inks and dye inks and given that this is a very inexpensive CS I'm pleased with the result...

I also inked up some scrap pieces to cut out the tiny butterflies

I could spend hours making these cards, I really love this technique and it's pretty foolproof - Give it a go....

Stella is actually coming to stay with me in a few weeks time and we'll both be on cloud nine!

So the challenge is to create a project that features a cloud or clouds

This is what I came up with

I've used a new die "Home" by Sweet Pea Designs on my card and Memory Box cloud dies - The word 'New' was cut on my Cameo

As you can see I cut the clouds twice - I thought it would be fun to give them a little definition

I also die cut 'Home' a few times and layered it up, then cut just the house part again using up some scraps of paper to make the little house stand out

I'm thrilled to say that our Guest Designer this week is Marie of Baileyrosy.com

Marie was our winner from week 297 and although she lives in Greece, this talented lady hails from right here in my home town of Liverpool! Please hop on over and say Hi and check out her beautiful creations...
